Warning!! Dangerous design flaw in the 2006 Jeep Wranglers!!



The 2006 six speed Jeep Wrangler has a very dangerous design flaw. New for
the 2006 Jeep Wrangler is the six speed transmissions and what I have
recently learned the "hard way" is part of the redesign includes the clutch
assembly. The clutch rod comes out of the floor board and attaches to the
clutch pedal with a clip/attachment that bolts onto the clutch pedal. The
problem here is as part of their new design the clip or attachment piece is
made of "plastic" and I found that it can break very easily and disable your
Jeep. ........

I have had clutch linkage failure in several vehicles. You can still
drive the vehicle. You can carefully shift between gears when the
vehicle is moving without a clutch, and you can start and stop in 1st
gear by turning the engine off or starting it in gear.

Indeed, I've done the same thing on my truck when the plastic push rod
on the clutch master cylinder broke. Only problem is that this requires
technical knowledge which seems to be a rare thing these days. Used to
be everyone changed their own oil, now most people don't even know how
to check their oil much less change it.
